Farm Workers Get Special Selective Service Questionnaires
Illinois farmers and farm workers receive 89 thousand questionnaires to clarify each worker's role. The program aims to protect agriculture as wartime production expands, with local boards urged to keep key agricultural staff in place. Governor Green offers penitentiary labor for the war effort and orders a 24 hour prison industry plan using three shifts. About 11,000 inmates exist in Illinois prisons, with 1,500 skilled inmates and an estimated 4,500 unskilled workers available for defense work.
